Using the Walkie Talkie Feature on Teams

Purpose

Microsoft Teams has introduced a new feature called Walkie Talkie for only the mobile Teams app. This feature allows you to have quick burst conversations with other users on Teams without getting into a meeting. Below are a few instructions on using this feature.

Using Walkie Talkie 

• Open the Teams app on your mobile device and click the More (...) tab from the ribbon on the bottom of your screen.

• Select the Walkie Talkie.

• Once you’re in the app, please choose a Team and a Channel.

• Once you have chosen the Team and Channel you want to be in, you should see a microphone symbol and a connect button.
• Select the Connect, and activate that specific channel’s Walkie Talkie chat.

• Now that you’re in the Channel’s Walkie Talkie chat, you can push and hold the microphone symbol to speak.
• Anyone on that Channel will be able to hear you and respond in the same manner.
  • In the top right corner, you can see how many people are in the channel at any given time.
• Once you are ready to leave the channel, select Disconnect, and you will be disconnected from the Channel.
